    I pick Philly first because they'll draft a clone of what they have and need to trade one of them...or Boston for the same reason..Philly has the least impact on our record next year....I don't want the west improving that much except in Portland

    I voted 76ers since:
    I don't want it to go to anyone in the West
    I double don't want it to go to the Lakers
    Even when bad Celtics fans still strut

    Lesser evilism.

    I voted Ben Simmons to the Lakers. He and KD and in two seasons Westbrook will be a blast to watch play together.

    Hey @HCP, you should say that we're gonna suck in this year's draft lottery, it will be the only prediction you've gotten right all season.

    The Sixers for the first pick. And then, as long as the Fakers lose their pick at 4, I don't care. Pisses me off Boston Is getting so many picks. If there's one team that knows how to draft it's them.

    Well, they actually draw the numbers in a private room, and then reveal the winner later while on TV. I have no idea why Mutombo would have been in that room, but supposedly they keep you locked in there or something along those lines. It will be interesting to see if they actually win.

    I'm pretty sure that's what KP said after we won in 2007.

    I think HCP actually meant "Bill Simmons to the Lakers."

    I'm watching on http://xn--frstrowsports-39b.eu/basketball. What is this? It runs a half-hour? I've been gone a couple of years; when did this change. They analyze top players, just like on the draft day telecast, who show up for live interviews. It used to be for 10 minutes at halftime, with owners sitting there as results were announced. They stretch it out now to half an hour.

    They have an audience there of about a thousand people. It used to be a studio event, and garnered a newspaper article of about 2 lines in the Miscellaneous section of the sports section. It was ridiculed by top teams like the Lakers to be a gathering of losers.
